BBC to hold "public showcase" of 4K Commonwealth Games coverage

The World Cup had been expected to be the sporting event at which we found out if Ultra HD 4K TV would realise its potential, but now it seems the 2014 Commonwealth Games might take that honour instead.

In what could be a "watershed moment in the history of broadcasting", the BBC's R&D department will be broadcasting "certain elements" of the Games live in 4K to a public showcase in Glasgow.
